All systems installed by 4ward offer varying degrees of remote monitoring and support. Our full system offering allows the 4ward team to monitor your system in real time. We will receive notifications of system faults before you know about them. In many cases our system will able the team to remotely repair the fault. Alternatively we will schedule a convent time and dispatch the correct resource to fix your system onsite.

MAINTENANCE

Just like having your pool maintained, windows cleaned regularly or garden serviced, your system requires regular care. System devices collect dust which ultimately affects performance. This equipment also requires regular firmware uploads to ensure that it is working in an optimal state at all times. Equipment also requires regular replacement of consumable parts such as batteries, ventilation fans and lamps. Most important….You want your system to operate with uninterrupted service. The SLA is highly recommended for all our clients in all our sectors.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS

We offer the client 2 Service Level Options: Preemptive maintenance and Reactive technical support. The value of effective technical support cannot be underestimated as many systems installed by ELV can be regarded as Critical Services and therefore “downtime” is not an option.

Critical Systems include: Networks, Security, Lighting and Communication.
